To the residents of our great city of New London,

I am proud to extend my heartfelt support for the Seventh Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps—a remarkable organization that brings together talented youth from across Connecticut to grow, learn, and thrive through the power of music and performance.

For the past four years, I’ve had the pleasure of attending their performances and witnessing firsthand the confidence, discipline, and mentorship this program instills in its members. Seventh Regiment is more than just music—it’s about building character, fostering community, and helping young people unlock their full potential.

I invite you to join me this year in supporting and learning more about this outstanding organization. There are scholarship opportunities available specifically for youth from New London, ensuring that cost is not a barrier to participation.

Thank you to all who make the Seventh Regiment possible. Your work enriches our city and uplifts our youth.

Sincerely,
Akil Peck
President Pro Tempore
New London City Council
